Pipet



D. B. BAKER Feb. 7, 1967 PIPET Filed July 30, 1964 United States Patent3,302,651 PIPET Dale B. Baker, 1018 E. Imperial Ave., Apt. 2, ElSegundo, Calif. 90245 Filed July 30, 1964, Ser. No. 386,135 1 Claim.(Cl. 131--185) This invention relates to pipes and the like for smokingtobacco.

The object of this invention is to provide a tobacco smoking devicewhereby loose pipe tobacco is placed into an extendable tray, the traythen being slid back into a smoking tube and whereby the loose pipetobacco comes into contact with a packer plate and through such actionpacks the loose pipe tobacco between the packer plate and the cap orfront end of the slidable tray.

For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention,reference may be had to the following detailed description taken inconjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:

FIGURE 1 is a horizontal view of the present invention shown inelevation and in section;

FIGURE 2 is a transverse view taken along the lines 2--2 of FIGURE 1;

FIGURE 3 is an exploded perspective view of the pipe tray and pipe capshown removed from FIGURE 1;

FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the tray stop members shown removed fromFIGURE 1; and

FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the pipe bowl shown removed from theinvention.

Referring now more in detail to the drawing, a pipet made in accordancewith the present invention is shown to include an elongated hollow pipebowl 12 having a transverse slot 14 which receives a tobacco packerplate 16. Packer plate 16 is provided with an opening 17 through whichthe tobacco smoke travels toward the smokers month. As seen in FIGURES 1and 2, the upper portion of the packer plate is radially larger than thelower portion thereof so that the plate extends completely across theinterior of the bowl 12. Bowl 12 is provided with a shoulder 18 againstwhich a clamp ring 20 rests. Clamp ring 20 provides a means forpreventing the shank of bowl 12 from splitting and provides a tight fitfor the pipet stern which will hereinafter be described. A washer 22 isreceived within recess 24 of pipe bowl 12 and encompasses the opening 26of bowl 12. The orifice washer 22 prevents charring and discoloration ofthe pipet bowl 12 in the area of the orifice 16. A pair of opposed slots28 through bowl 12 slidably receive arcuately configurated stop plates30. The opening 32 of bowl 12 freely and slidably receives tray 34. Tray34 is provided with a pair of lips 36 which are flared slightly outwardto provide a stop when in contact with stop plates 30. The lips 36 oftray 34 also prevent tray 34 from wobbling when it is extended from bowl12. The U-shaped opening 38 of tray 34 provides a means for pipet 10 toreceive tobacco. A pair of opposed openings 40 in one end of tray 34freely receive screws 42 which are threadingly received within openings44 of a cap 46. Cap 46 is provided with a shoulder 48 against which aclamp ring 49 rests when it is received on the recessed end of bowl 12.The shoulder 50 spaced apart from shoulder 48 on cap 46 abuts with theend of tray 34. Cap 46 seals off the end of tray 34 and bowl 12. Anopening 62 within the other end of bowl 12 frictionally receives theextension 54 of pipet stem 56. Pipet stem 56 is received in the mouth ofthe smoker in the well known manner.

In use, by grasping cap 46 between the fingers, tray 34 is slid outwardfrom bowl 12, whereupon it is filled with tobacco. Tray 34 is then urgedback into opening 32, whereupon the packer plate 16 packs the tobaccofirmly in tray 34. Pipet 10 is then lighted through the orifice 26.

It shall thus be recognized that packer plate 16 may also serve as atray stop if the aft end of the tray 34 is flared upwardly.

It shall further be recognized that the stop plates 30 in the forwardend of pipet 10 prevent tray 34 from accidentally falling from withinbowl 12.

While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shallbe understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope ofthe present invention as defined by the appended claim.

What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of theUnited States is:

A smoking device including an elongated hollow cylindrical member at oneend portion and a mouthpiece attached thereto at the other end portionof the device, said mouthpiece and member having a common longitudinalaxis, the free end portion of said members having an opening and a capmember for closing the same, said cap member having a hollow tubulartray attached thereto, adapted to fit within the hollow cylindricalmember and to be slidable relative thereto when said cap is removed fromsaid opening, said tray having a U- shaped slot in the upper portionthereof extending from the end thereof adjacent to the mouthpiece to aportion thereof adjacent to that end of the tray which is secured to thecap, the portion of the tray adjacent to the mouthpiece having lipmembers on opposite sides of the end portion of the slot, the lipsterminating in flared portions adapted to bear against the internal wallof said hollow cylindrical member for stabilizing said tray when it isslid outwardly of said cylindrical member, said cylindrical memberhaving a plurality of transverse slots adjacent the free end thereofeach having an arcuate plate therein, said plates being adapted to guidesaid tray as it is slid within said member and to limit the outwardmovement of the tray with respect thereto, the upper portion of theintermediate portion of the member having a trans verse slottherethrough having a packing plate therein, said packing plate having asmoke passing central aperture therethrough and having an external shapeto fit in and conform with the interior of the tray and havingextensions thereof on the portion of the plate above the tray adapted toextend across the adjacent portion of the interior of the cylindricalmember and said cylindrical member having an aperture through the wallportion thereof overlying the slot in the tray and having a washersurrounding said wall aperture to prevent charring 0f the same, wherebysaid tray may he slid out of said cylindrical member, filled withtobacco through the slot therein and slid back in the cylindricalmember, said packing plate retaining and packing the tobacco in saidtray so that the tobacco therein may be ignited through the wallaperture, said wall aperture providing means whereby air may enter thetobacco in the tray for combustion thereof therein.
